Pine Parquet Wood Flooring Restoration

Before the restoration works...

The pine parquet flooring in this Harrow house was overall looking tired and in desperate need of renovation. During our obligation-free survey, we did a thorough inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible options.

Our client has decided to go for floor sanding, staining, of 33 sqm pine parquet flooring and finishing the floors in satin Lacquer.

How we completed the restoration works...

Parquet flooring restoration requires many years of experience, skills and the right wood floor restoration equipment. Depending on the overall condition of the floors, the initial parquet floor sanding may start with coarser or medium grid. The purpose of this stage is not only to remove the previous finish and get the floors to bare wood, but also to provide a good level throughout the entire floor. Some older parquet floors may require more thorough work at this time.

A number of colour samples were provided on a sanded surface for the client to review and approve, prior to application of the colour and finishing the floors. The client decided to go with floor staining in colour.

Sanding the floors with fine grids (80 - 120 gr) and a good rotary buff to the pine timber surface with high grid buffing screens is the most important stage in the preparation of the wooden flooring for finishing.

The parquet flooring was consequently sealed with 1 coat of primer and 3 coats of Junckers HT700 Lacquer in satin sheen with another light screen buff between the coats, for an excellent final touch to the finish.
